During the night - their will be a competition for the 'BEST MASK' - Three masks will be chosen by Celebrity / VIP guests who will then be photographed with the winners and showcase the gifts they have received.

But party people needn’t worry if dressing up in the most sensational style for both events is a little much. Because at the Halloween Ball, all you need to bring is yourself, your dancing shoes and of course – a mask!

Party chairman and chief organiser, Josh Rafter, said: “The ball is a more low key version of The Wig Party but with the same incredible party vibe but more music and performance, the catwalk disappears so there is more room to dance and get on down. People can still come along for a great night out, supporting a great cause, just without a full-on costume. It’s a great way to hang out with your mates and meet new people – and when you don’t know who’s behind all those masks it gets really exciting! We will be revealing some celebrity supporters very soon. Last year’s ball was massively successful so get your tickets as soon as they go on sale!”

Deborah Jack, chief executive of NAT, said: “We’re very excited to be working with the Wig Party again. The event really will be a celebration of life. At NAT we work hard to ensure people with HIV can live their lives to the fullest – that they aren’t held back by discriminatory laws or affected by ignorance and stigma, that they have the support they need to continue to work, stay healthy and know their rights. We are very grateful that this event will help us to continue to campaign on these issues – shaping attitudes, challenging injustice and changing lives.”

The party’s already started over on Facebook where you can get all the updates about the event as well as inspiration for your mask. Go to facebook.com/thewigparty for more and keep checking wigparty.org for updates on this and the future 10th anniversary of the Wig Party itself.
